Degree Within Reach: Colorado's Reverse Transfer Program

You've done the work, you deserve the credit! The research is clear: a degree boosts earning potential and career opportunities.

Degree within Reach is a process that allows students who have transferred from a Colorado community college to MSU Denver to combine credits from both institutions and apply them towards an associate’s degree.

If you are a transfer student, this means you can earn the associate’s degree you started at your community college while still working toward your bachelor’s degree. No consequences on your current academic standing, progress toward your bachelor’s, or financial aid.
